Partners family forgot our sons 1st birthday

My daughters dad's family haven't even met her, no presents, cards nothing we live about 1hour away. My partner sees them often, as far as I'm concerned they are nothing to do with her and its their fault, their loss 🤷🏼♀️
@Courtney we invited them to his party on the day after it though. So they should have known. We cancelled the party for various reasons but most of them haven’t gotten him a Christmas present either they just don’t seem to care. For none of them to even say happy birthday is insane to me when they make such a big deal about the other kids birthdays, one is first week of December
@Courtney I’m saying about the money spent as I know they spoiled the other kids in the family and just not ours so it’s unfair. If that’s all they can afford that’s totally fair but we don’t touch SHEIN clothes due to the toxins and I know they got way more for the other children so it’s personal
You’re right to feel angry, and I hate to say it but it’s probably because of Xmas. I’m a Dec baby, everyone seems to be so tunnel visioned on Xmas. As a kid, my mum had to REALLLLLYYY drive in to them about our birthdays coming first. My brothers are the 4th & 12th & then I’m 13th. We are all always so overshadowed bday wise but it becomes the norm ahaha. I still got to celebrate and it wasn’t any less special, my mum just had to really keep reminding everyone haha. I would say you need to focus less on the money spent. A gift is a gift, regardless of the price tag. The shein “cost pennies” comment comes off almost entitled and quite materialistic. It shouldn’t matter how much is spent or how grand the gift is, at least they have one. There are plenty of families who have nothing to gift their children at Xmas so I’d try and be grateful for whatever IS bought. They definitely should make more of an effort to celebrate the days separately AND to do so equally for grandkids xx
